BACKGROUND ART

In recent years, with the increasingly wide use of secondary batteries, the secondary batteries are widely used in energy storage power systems such as water power, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, as well as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. Due to the great development of the secondary batteries, higher requirements have also been put forward for their energy density, cycling performance and safety performance. Existing lithium manganese iron phosphate is used as a main material and mixed with ternary materials such as lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide or lithium cobalt oxide to make secondary batteries. Although this technology combines respective advantages of the lithium manganese iron phosphate and the ternary materials, the lithium manganese iron phosphate makes the batteries poor in kinetic performance and low in cell rate performance, which cannot meet the needs of power batteries.

[Secondary Battery]

Secondary batteries, also known as rechargeable batteries or storage batteries, refer to batteries that, after being discharged, can activate active materials by charging for continuous use.

Typically, a secondary battery comprises a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a separator and an electrolyte solution. During charging and discharging of the battery, active ions (such as lithium ions) are intercalated and deintercalated back and forth between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The separator is provided between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and mainly functions to prevent a short circuit between the positive electrode and the negative electrode while allowing active ions to pass through. The electrolyte solution mainly serves to conduct active ions between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet.

[Positive Electrode Sheet]

An embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a positive electrode sheet, including a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode film layer arranged on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector; the positive electrode film layer is of a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure; when the positive electrode film layer is of the single-layer structure, at least one positive electrode film layer comprises both a first positive electrode active material and a second positive electrode active material with a chemical formula of Li_(a)A_(x)Mn_(1-y)R_(y)P_(1-z)C_(z)O_(4-n)D_(n); and/or, when the positive electrode film layer is of the multi-layer structure, at least one layer of the at least one positive electrode film layer comprises both a first positive electrode active material and a second positive electrode active material with a chemical formula of Li_(a)A_(x)Mn_(1-y)R_(y)P_(1-z)C_(z)O_(4-n)D_(n); wherein A includes one or more elements selected from Zn, Al, Na, K, Mg, Nb, Mo and W; R includes one or more elements selected from Ti, V, Zr, Fe, Ni, Mg, Co, Ga, Sn, Sb, Nb and Ge; C includes one or more elements selected from B, S, Si and N; D includes one or more elements selected from S, F, Cl and Br; a is selected from a range of 0.9 to 1.1, x is selected from a range of 0.001 to 0.1, y is selected from a range of 0.001 to 0.5, z is selected from a range of 0.001 to 0.1, and n is selected from a range of 0.001 to 0.1; and the second positive electrode active material is selected from one or more of LiNi_(b)Co_(c)Mn_((1-b-c))O₂, LiNi_(b)Co_(c)Al_((1-b-c))O₂ and LiCoO₂; wherein b is independently selected from 0.3-0.9 (optionally 0.33-0.8, e.g., 0.5), and the sum of b and c is independently selected from 0.3-0.9 (optionally 0.66-0.9, e.g., 0.7).

It should be noted that: when the positive electrode sheet includes two positive electrode film layers, “the positive electrode film layer is of a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure” means that the two positive electrode film layers are each independently of a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure; “when the positive electrode film layer is of a single-layer structure” refers to when one or two positive electrode film layers are of a single-layer structure; and “when the positive electrode film layer is of a multi-layer structure” refers to when one or two positive electrode film layers are of a multi-layer structure.

The first positive electrode active material of the present application is obtained by element doping in the compound LiMnPO₄, wherein A, B, C and D are elements doped at the Li site, the Mn site, the P site and the O site of the compound LiMnPO₄ respectively. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the inventor of the present application found that the performance improvement of lithium manganese phosphate is related to reducing the lattice change rate of lithium manganese phosphate and reducing surface activity during lithium intercalation and deintercalation. Reducing the lattice change rate can reduce the lattice constant difference between two phases at the grain boundary, reduce the interfacial stress, and enhance the transport capability of Li⁺ at the interface, thereby improving the rate performance of the positive electrode active material. However, high surface activity can easily lead to serious interface side reactions, aggravate gas production, electrolyte solution consumption and interface damage, thereby affecting the cycling performance and other performance of the secondary battery. In the present application, the lattice change rate is reduced by Li and Mn site doping. Mn-site doping can also effectively reduce surface activity, thereby inhibiting the dissolution of Mn and the interface side reactions between the positive electrode active material and the electrolyte solution. P-site doping makes the change rate of the Mn—O bond length faster, lowers the small polaron migration potential barrier of the material, and thus is beneficial to the electronic conductivity. O-site doping has a good effect on reducing the interface side reactions. Doping at the P site and the O site also affects the dissolution of Mn and kinetic performance of antisite defects. Therefore, doping reduces the antisite defect concentration in the material, improves the kinetic performance and gram capacity of the material, and can also change the morphology of particles, thereby increasing the compacted density. The applicant unexpectedly found that: by simultaneously doping particular elements of particular amounts at the Li site, the Mn site, the P site and the O site of the compound LiMnPO₄, significantly improved rate performance can be obtained while significantly reducing dissolution of Mn and Mn-site doping elements, obtaining significantly improved cycling performance and/or high-temperature stability, and also improving the gram capacity and compacted density of the material; and in addition, in the present application, the first positive electrode active material and the second positive electrode active material are mixed to be used, the advantages of the two materials are complementary, which improves the energy density of the secondary battery, and at the same time, makes the secondary battery have excellent rate performance, kinetic performance, cycling performance, low-temperature performance and safety. Particles of the first positive electrode active material evenly coat the surface of the second positive electrode active material, so that the second positive electrode active material is relatively independent in lattice and stable in skeleton, and the second positive electrode active material is not prone to collapsing during the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery, which further improves the cycling performance of the secondary battery. Moreover, a coating layer formed by the first positive electrode active material provides elastic strain force for external force impact or shear, effectively solving the safety problem of the second positive electrode active material.

Preparation of Button Battery

The above-mentioned positive electrode sheet was assembled with a negative electrode and the electrolyte solution into a button battery (hereinafter also referred to as “button battery”) in a button battery box.

I. Property Test of Positive Electrode Active Material

1. Measurement of Chemical Formula of Positive Electrode Active Material

An aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (ACSTEM) was used to perform high-spatial-resolution characterization on an internal microstructure and a surface structure of a positive electrode active material, and combined with three-dimensional reconstruction technology, a chemical formula of the positive electrode active material was obtained.

2. Measurement Method of Lattice Change Rate

In a constant temperature environment of 25° C., a positive electrode active material sample was placed in an XRD (with the model being Bruker D8 Discover), the sample was tested at 1°/min, test data was managed and analyzed, and with reference to a standard PDF card, lattice constants a0, b0, c0, and v0 at the time were calculated (a0, b0, and c0 represent the lengths in all aspects of a unit cell, and v0 represents the volume of a unit cell, which can be obtained directly from XRD refined results).

The positive electrode active material sample was prepared into a positive electrode sheet according to the method for preparing the positive electrode sheet P1, then a button battery was prepared according to the above-mentioned “preparation of button battery”, and the button battery was charged at a small rate of 0.05 C until a current was decreased to 0.01 C. Then the positive electrode sheet in the button battery was removed and soaked in DMC for 8 h. After oven drying, powder was scraped off, and particles with a particle size less than 500 nm were sieved. A sample was taken and a lattice constant v1 thereof was calculated in the same way as the fresh sample tested above. The lattice change rate before and after complete de-intercalation of lithium was calculated by (v0−v1)/v0×100% and shown in the table.

3. Measurement Method of Li/Mn Antisite Defect Concentration

The Li/Mn antisite defect concentration was obtained by comparing the XRD results tested in the “measurement method of lattice change rate” with the PDF (Powder Diffraction File) card of a standard crystal. Specifically, the XRD results tested in the “measurement method of lattice change rate” were imported into General Structural Analysis System (GSAS) software, the refined results were automatically obtained, which included the occupancy of different atoms, and the Li/Mn antisite defect concentration was obtained by reading the refined results.

4. Measurement Method of Surface Oxygen Valence

5 g of positive electrode active material sample was taken and prepared into a positive electrode sheet according to the method for preparing the positive electrode sheet P1, and then a button battery was prepared according to the above-mentioned “preparation of button battery”. The button battery was charged at a small rate of 0.05 C until a current was decreased to 0.01 C. Then the positive electrode sheet in the button battery was removed and soaked in DMC for 8 h. After oven drying, powder was scraped off, and particles with a particle size less than 500 nm were sieved. The obtained particles were measured by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS, the instrument used is Talos F200S) to obtain the energy loss near-edge structure (ELNES), which reflects the density of states and energy level distribution of elements. Based on the density of states and energy level distribution, the valence band density of states was integrated to calculate the number of electrons occupied, thereby deriving the valence of surface oxygen after charging.

5. Measurement Method of Compacted Density

5 g of positive electrode active material powder was placed in a special compaction mold (CARVER mold, 13 mm), and then the mold was placed on a compacted density test instrument. A pressure of 3 T was applied, a thickness of the powder under the pressure (thickness after pressure relief) was read on the device, and the compacted density was calculated by ρ=m/v.

6. Measurement Method of Dissolution of Mn (and Fe Doped at Mn Site) after Cycling

A positive electrode active material sample was prepared into a positive electrode sheet according to the method for preparing the positive electrode sheet P1, and then a full battery was prepared according to the above-mentioned “preparation of full battery”.

The full battery that was cycled at 45° C. until the capacity was attenuated to 80% was discharged to a cut-off voltage of 2.0 V at a rate of 0.1 C. Then the battery was disassembled, the negative electrode sheet was removed, 30 circular pieces of unit area (1540.25 mm²) were randomly selected on the negative electrode sheet, and the inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP) was tested on Agilent ICP-OES730. The amount of Fe (if Fe is doped at the position of Mn of the positive electrode active material) and Mn was calculated from the ICP results, thereby calculating the amount of Mn (and Fe doped at the position of Mn) dissolved out after cycling. The test standard is based on EPA-6010D-2014.

7. Measurement Method of Initial Gram Capacity of Button Battery

At 2.5-4.3 V, the button batteries were charged to 4.3 V at 0.1 C, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.3 V until a current was less than or equal to 0.05 mA, left to stand for 5 min, and then discharged at 0.1 C to 2.0 V. The discharge capacity at this time was the initial gram capacity, recorded as DO.

8. Measurement Method of Capacity Rate of Constant-Current Charged at 3 C

In a constant-temperature environment of 25° C., fresh full batteries were allowed to stand for 5 min, and discharged to 2.5 V at ⅓C. The batteries were allowed to stand for 5 min, charged to 4.3 V at ⅓C, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.3 V until a current is less than or equal to 0.05 mA. After standing for 5 min, the charging capacity at this time was recorded as CO. The battery was discharged to 2.5V at ⅓C, let stand for 5 min, then charged to 4.3V at 3 C, and let stand for 5 minutes. The charging capacity at this time was recorded as Cl. The capacity rate of constant-current charged at 3 C was C1/C0×100%.

The higher the capacity rate of constant-current charged at 3 C is, the better the rate performance of the battery will be.

9. Full Battery Cycling Performance Test at 45° C.

In a constant-temperature environment of 45° C., at 2.5-4.3 V, the full batteries were charged to 4.3 V at 1 C, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.3 V until a current was less than or equal to 0.05 mA. The batteries were allowed to stand for 5 min, and then discharged to 2.5 V at 1 C, and the discharging capacity at this time was recorded as DO. The afore-mentioned charge-discharge cycle was repeated until the discharging capacity was reduced to 80% of DO. The number of cycles the battery had gone through at this time was recorded.

10. Full Battery Expansion Test at 60° C.

The full batteries were stored at 100% state of charge (SOC) at 60° C. The open circuit voltage (OCV) and AC internal resistance (IMP) of the battery cells were measured before, after and during storage to monitor SOC, and the battery cell volume was measured. The whole battery was taken out after every 48 h of storage, and the open circuit voltage (OCV) and internal resistance (IMP) were tested after standing for 1 h. The volume of the battery cell was measured by displacement of water after cooling to room temperature. In the displacement of water, the gravity F₁ of the battery cell was measured firstly with a balance that automatically performs unit conversion of the dial data. Then the battery cell was completely placed in deionized water (the density is known to be 1 g/cm³). The gravity F₂ of the battery cell at this time was measured. The buoyancy F_(floating) on the battery cell is F₁−F₂, and then according to Archimedes' principle F_(floating)=ρ×g×V_(displacement), the battery cell volume V=(F₁−F₂)/(ρ×g) is calculated.

From the OCV and IMP test results, it can be seen that the batteries of the examples always maintain an SOC of 99% or higher during the experiment till the end of storage.

After 30 days of storage, the battery cell volume was measured and the percentage increase in the battery cell volume after storage relative to the battery cell volume before storage was calculated.

In addition, the residual capacity of the battery cell is measured. At 2.5-4.3 V, the full batteries were charged to 4.3 V at 1 C, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.3 V until a current was less than or equal to 0.05 mA. After standing for 5 min, the charging capacity at this time was recorded as the residual capacity of the battery cell.
